I don't know who came up with the idea, but I'm trying to be kind when I say that this was probably a mom who ended up running out of ideas to feed her child or got bored with breakfast. It doesn't take much work to choose different options.
1.She could put cut fruit on skewers. It's more fun for kids to eat. Alternately, she could have made a small fruit salad.
2. She also could have made a hard-boiled egg. This is a great way to get some protein in the breakfast.
3. Yogurt and granola is another good idea
The Starbuck/Dunkin Donuts concept is part of the reason that we have so much obesity in our country. Sad to see in the kids.
